THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE 8-9 SMALL SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC IN DAYLIGHT . WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME ULTRA FINE SURFACE HANDLING LINES AND WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE TO MY CUSTOMERS

THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS A CRISP CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION. THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE NOTES OR VOCALS.

I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE ALBUM IN MONO SO THAT IT CAN BE HEARD AS INTENDED

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS AND POPS

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS SOME OCCASIONAL AND VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME THE LINKING GROOVES AND SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES, AND JUST A COUPLE OF LITTLE DUST POPS AND TICS

OVERALL IT IS THE DISTORTION FREE CLARITY OF THE MONO REPRODUCTION THAT OVERRIDES ALL ELSE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS RARE LP NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION

BUT I'LL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE AS YOU LISTEN TO THE RECORDING

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE. THIS SLEEVE IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION

GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY GLOSSY. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE.

THERE ARE TWO LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, FIVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. FIVE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND TWO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE. A PERFECTLY GLOSS WHITE AND BLACK SURFACE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT.ONLY THE VERY TIPS OF THE CORNERS SHOW A PIN PRICK OF RUB

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UN-SQUASHED. AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE THUMB NAIL NICKS AND A LITTLE BURRING

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS AND THEY ARE ALSO PERFECTLY CLEAN.ALTHOUGH THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS SUSTAINED ALITTLE DING WHICH HAS CREASED THE LAMINATE SOMEWHAT

THE VULNERABLE UN-LAMINATED POWDERY BLACK SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. OFTEN FOUND RUBBED THROUGH TO THE WHITE SURFACE, THIS ONE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME VERY WELL. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RECORD SHAPE ANYWHERE. THERE IS ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THE GREASE PROOF PAPER EMI INNER IS CLEAN BUT A LITTLE AGED. NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT

GARRY
